Very nice, did you see this locally? I can't recall seeing a moth this vivid in colour for a long time, way before I was bothered with inverts! If they're in the Birmingham area then I want in on the action!

Same here (my Peacock butterfly pic is from a couple of years ago). That being said our large buddleia bush hasn't done very well this year for some reason.

Likewise, our "butterfly" bush* hasn't bloomed this year at all! Our garden was an oasis for them last year but just seems to have not bothered this year! Bloody inconsiderate plants!
Just want to say that within 20 minutes of this photo being taken I saw one!
Since then I have seen a further four individuals including two mating on my front door! Well I assume they were mating, never seen moths going at it before!
